Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture of 18.7 g of 4-bromoanisole, 20.3 g of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, 6.36 g of sodium carbonate, 0.0025 g of palladium(II) acetate, 0.21 g of triphenylphosphane and 5.0 g of polyethylene glycol 1000 was heated to 170° C. under nitrogen. The conversion of bromoanisole, determined by gas chromatography, was 100% after 2 hours. After vacuum distillation, an 82% yield of 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, based on the 4-bromoanisole reacted, was obtained.
